WARNING! OPEN SPOILERS FOR STORY EVENTS OF THE CLAYFIGHTER SERIES BELOW! YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

 

 And now for the StrawPoll results:

SPOILER: SCREENCAP OF STRAWPOLL RESULTS AS OF JUNE 9TH, 2026

The vote count is identical to the last poll I did for these threads, though with fewer actual voters due to this poll allowing multiple votes per person.

So is just 5 people?

Clayfighters has a plot?  I don't recall such a thing 

[Jansen]

I should be able to browbeat and berate people without impedance!

[Uncle]

if adults want to watch bluey, then they should also be fine with people judging them for it

[BIONIC]

almost every time they venture out of those threads for an open discussion about an issue, their either get browbeaten, dismissed, looked passed, or what-abouted.

This happens to YOU specifically, Minthara, because almost all of your posts are framed as if you're an expert talking down to other posters like they're young, ignorant children. Now most users just skim past your long, rambling, condescending bullshit rather than engage with your post because they know they're only going to get a bunch of rambling, equally condescending paragraphs in response. 

Hope that helps. 

I’m amazed this dipshit didn’t somehow manage to sneak in talking about how Scarlet Witch has been whitewashed from being Romani or whatever the fuck in that screed. Then again, maybe he did I ain’t reading all that garbage lmao

Somehow more pathetic than the average Echoes thread. Never thought such a thing was possible.

And away we go y'all

https://www.ign.com/articles/shift-up-ceo-explains-design-of-stellar-blade-blood-rains-new-main-character



So we have an IGN article now, interviewing Shift Up's CEO, where he unambiguously repeats to IGN what was in that Korean interview from a few days ago. No AI translation this time.

Please LORD 🙏 let one of the idiots make a thread so I can get some good fucking food instead of the back and forth in constructive.

Yeah they would have done it no questions asked

[Jansen]

How can she recognize the smell...? Like, she finger herself then smell it? Is that a thing people do?



About the ad.. it's pretty bad and tone deaf at this time, but I wouldn't expect better from Gwyneth Paltrow

[Uncle]

yeah and in the 90s when marcy playground sang I smell sex and candy here, how did he know what sex smells like, like was he in the middle of a good doggystyle sesh and went "hold up, let me get a good sniff, just to embed this in my memory"

[Potato]

What does sexualized mean to these people?

Anything that makes their she-cocks feel funny.

I've been out of the loop. Fats is gone? What happened

made a stupid parody thread "bullying" another user, caught a... 2 week? ban, upgraded to 3 months, he bitched on bluesky about it and decided to quit the site.

he stickied this post on his bluesky about a month ago

im just tired

tired of walking on eggshells, tired of my sexuality being judged, of my life experiences being truncated and unrespected

tired of the moderation

that’s that i suppose

Not just any user...he bullied our sweet prince KSweeley about some random Baltimore thread.

Reminder that they posted this in the constructor thread this morning 

You know, I can just go back and get the entire quote if you want to mislead about what you posted.



As the sole Pro-Good-Things Anti-Bad-Things member of the forum, everyone needs to understand that if they like things I've decided are objectively bad, then that makes them a bad person. They may not like it when I tell them they are a bad person, but deep down they know I'm right and agree with everything I say because of course they do and they just don't want to accept the objectively reality that they are a bad person. And I need to be able to remind of this at any moment. This is why, despite the forum having a function that allows them to ignore any user for any reason, anyone attempting to ignore me should be perma-banned.



This is you cosplaying as one of those "people" and then saying the actual solution to the problem is simply ignoring the thing they're mad about (which they won't do), but instead want this other ridiculous unreasonable thing.



So a straw man, a red herring, and I'm sure another fallacy all wrapped up in a single post. Effortful!

Yeah I don't think this is going to go well

[Potato]

Can't say I entirely disagree. It's all PR babble nothing that they showed will move the needle significantly nor will a 25 year anniversary Xbox Series X model.
Xbox will continue to sink or maybe keep the small market they have left but Swich 2 and PS5 will stay ahead and Switch 2 makes Series S entirely obsolete.

Like Dunkey said in his last video, Microsoft lost to Concord era PlayStation. And why 25 years, Xbox won't last 25 days. 

There won't be anything significant on Project Helix that won't be on PS5 or Switch 2. This'll be like the Xbox One X a short adrenaline rush that runs out of gas soon enough. Another HALO, Fable, Gears of War won't save it. They can't rewind the clock 25 years, there isn't nostalgia for Xbox like there is for Nintendo. They killed that off during their woke retard controller era.

It's over.

The only thing that will save them is actually using the Activision purchase to deliver exclusive Call of Duty shit to Xbox. Make it timed exclusive or extra game modes or whatever. Just make it clear that the Xbox version is the lead version. But the problem is they're late on this too. Does anyone really care that much about CoD these days?

[Potato]

I've long given up on Persona ever catching my interest but was Metaphor shitty?

I still haven't tried it outside of a demo but I like the grungey visual style as opposed to the school shit

(Cis male disclaimer)

Metaphor is very different from Persona in its tone and it lacks the egregious salivating of male characters towards the female characters , blatant homophobia, and dumb hot spring scenes that Persona are known for.

I will leave it to the regulars of this thread to speak to the quality of the characters.

(Cis male disclaimer)

one day we will get to the bottom of RE's weird misandry

Is it misandry or self loathing?

jrx8080 thank you for making the thread, although i do expect the smarter trolls to avoid it this time around, a lot of posters including you called out their bullshit tactics so they will wait awhile to show up, maybe in the next SB trailer thread.
Still, i'm sure one or two dumb ones will catch some bans

 
yw yw.

One already caught some lead for 2 weeks, so thank goodness for that.

I hope my colored warning at the top helps people remember that trolls and fanboys often intersect, and exist everywhere.

Could not tell you the last game I bought at MSRP. Probably was on the Wii.

Imagine thinking you need to "keep up"


Don't have the time or money to play every single new release? Who fucking cares? Don't play/buy them.

IGN better have their IT department check this writer's hard drive

User banned (2 weeks): deeply inflammatory commentary in a sensitive thread

Both sides are getting mowed down currently. I guarantee more bans will be handed out on this end instead of what they actually want to happen.

[simiansmarts]

I like the juxtaposition of a smaller character punching above their weightclass in close quarters combat

Yeah I like playing Lalafell melee jobs in FFXIV

An activity that requires zero pedophilia

zero self-control + FOMO + terminally online = recipe for rampant consumerism

[STAFF]

Looks like we need to lay down some discussion guidelines:



Coming into a thread on how a sexualized character that was intentionally made to look younger and saying things like "looks cool" or "can't wait" will catch you a ban
You can NOT call the interviewer a pedophile
If you see something sus, report it, don't engage.


[/STAFF]

Is this just a difference in Western vs Eastern culture? Like clearly we find Evie unacceptable being this young and/or sexualized, but given in the east some depictions of K-Pop and the various gacha games (Like Nikke/Hoyoverse Games/Blue Archive) it's considered acceptable over there, and what we have as a result is a clash of cultures?

You can NOT call the interviewer a pedophile

You mean the interviewee right? The interviewer is IGN.

Someone basically called the IGN reporter a pedophile because they felt the reporter didn't go hard enough.

Oh bdumbs

From the lore

[Jansen]

If something is big enough of a problem or worth defending that much, it should be enough to speak for yourself.







If there's someone from Y community who may have a viewpoint to point towards, then quote and link to allow their voice to be passed on. Rather than presenting a 'wife, black friend, trans co-worker, Koreans, etc anecdotal voice of exception that has no receipts to it and is pretty much always serving the stance of the person playing telephone.







Really is some BlackChamber dance stink going on. Which also makes me wary in backing Minthara's suggestion on designated community members handling things. Just too easy to exploit, given it's going to go to someone who is fan first because in the end its previews/OTs for the game rather than for any activism against the problems the game presents.







It's just something that's unfortunately going to put workload on in moderating unless something really tips over with it. Don't rise to the bait and just report if something clearly steps over. Don't need to pull the martyr stuff, it just seems to make everything 100x worse.











Helps immensely that people immediately reported instead of dragging their feet in order to
 get their kicks in first/only.

Jesus Christ is Black Chamber an urban legend now
